It lets you use `await` syntax directly in an interactive Python console via the `apython` command, and offers async versions of `input()`, `print()`, `exec()`, and the interactive code interpreter. The package has no runtime dependencies and installs cleanly on modern Python versions supporting Python >= 3.8.\n\nThe package was first released in 2016 and remains actively maintained. However, the documentation itself notes that the ecosystem has evolved since its early releases, and recommends considering other options for new projects depending on your specific use case.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a quick async REPL for exploration or are maintaining legacy code. The package is stable, actively maintained, and has no external dependencies. However, the documentation recommends evaluating alternatives for new projects, so verify whether this meets your specific needs before committing."},"id":"aioconsole","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aioconsole","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aioconsole.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/aioconsole/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-10-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"aioconsole","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Asynchronous console and interfaces for asyncio"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":833936,"position":4937,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.8.2"}
